Wood is susceptible to decay if it is exposed to high moisture contents and certain temperatures during long periods of time. In rain exposed structures, decay often starts close to joints since the joints can act as water traps where water stays after rain events. Service life prediction models for outdoor wood structures require knowledge about the moisture and temperature conditions in the wood
Sammanfattning I september 2010 trädde en lagändring i kraft som innebar att vårdnadshavare, utöver sitt redan befintliga tillsynsansvar, blev strikt skadeståndsansansvariga för skador som deras barn vållat genom en brottslig handling. Regleringen ska verka preventivt och minska ungdomsbrottsligheten. Syftet med min uppsats har varit att utreda och kritiskt granska det strikta skadeståndsansvar sSummary In September 2010 an amendment of law was made which meant that legal guardians, in addition to their already existing supervisory responsibility, became subject to strict liability for damages caused by their children through a criminal offence. The aim of the regulation is to decrease juvenile delinquency. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and critically analyze the strict li
The purpose of this practical theological master’s thesis is to examine conversation as part of sermon preparation in present day preaching in the Lutheran Church of Sweden. This study combines studies of homiletical literature with qualitative empirical methods, stating that theory and practice informs one another. Through participant observation in Bible study groups and the following Sunday’s s
The technological development has provided the art scene with many new opportunities of including the spectator as an active part of an artwork. Moreover, one could argue that some artworks have grown to rely on the spectators participation to function to its full extent. This function includes both a physical function as well as an ability to create emotions and a relatable- meaning within the sp
This master thesis in library and information science is centered around two reading circles taking place at the libraries of Swedish upper secondary schools. The aim of the thesis is to study how the participants (ages 16-18) in the reading circles reflect on their own reading practices and their identities as readers. One main point of the thesis is that reading circles are forms of reading comm
The passing of information through handover communications is essential in many workplaces. Such handover communication is for example crucial in health care institutions, in nuclear power and in software operations. Handover communications in software operations happen on a daily basis much like in health care. Examples of handover communications in software operations include verbal or digital w
The goal of this master thesis was to identify an alternative to shaft encoders as means of achieving accurate motor velocity and position control for sliding door systems. While the company had previously explored methods like using backEMF, this thesis investigates counting voltage ripples during the commutation process in a brushed DC motor. During commutation, one or two pairs of commutator se
Enligt EUs senaste direktiv kan medlemsländernas befintliga byggnader behöva energieffektiviseras. Hittills har byggnaders energianvändning beräknats med normaliserade brukare, vilket avspeglat byggnadernas medelanvändande baserat på befintligt brukarbeteende. Förändringarna ställde krav på bättre underlag för brukarrelaterade indata, samt även på en metod för energiberäkningar av vädring. Därför The latest European Union directive pressures the member states to increase existing building energy efficiency. Calculations of building energy has in Sweden a dependency of normalized user behaviour data, which has reflected the average use based on existing data. Changes increase the demand for better background data on usage of dwellings, as well as a method for calculating the energy use due
The following bachelor thesis aims to investigate how advertising on the social media application TikTok affects attitudes, consumer behaviour and brand awareness among their users aged 18-23 in Sweden. The ambition of the study is to contribute with research on how advertising is being recieved by TikTok's users, regarding attitudes and consumer behaviour, and establishing whether it is a suc
Background: Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are hypothesised to be risk factors for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a group of haematological malignancies with a suspected environmental aetiology. Within the EnviroGenoMarkers study we utilised pre-diagnostic erythrocyte concentrations of Cd and Pb to determine whether exposure was associated with risk of B-cell NHL and multiple myeloma. Methods: 194 inci
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning, där energianvändningen främst består av energi för uppvärmning. Energibesparingar på en byggnads uppvärmningsenergi kan göras med hjälp av tekniska åtgärder och genom förändring av brukarvanor. Det finns i dagsläget ett gap mellan den förväntade och faktiska energianvändningen i byggnader. Detta The aim of this report is to study occupants’ behavior to investigate the impact occupants’ behaviors, with an extra focus on different window opening behaviors, has on the total annual energy use in an apartment building. Other behaviors that are included in the study are use of household electricity, hot water use, and indoor temperature. The study will be performed as a literature study combine
This thesis is about health information on the internet. Most people in Sweden today search for health information on Google, but research is lacking on the way health information is displayed on Google. Research is also lacking on how health information is produced for the web. The thesis examines, through analysis of searches on Google, how health information is formed in the search engine based
The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the fire source elevation on the main fire parameters, by implementing laboratory experiments. In modern Fire Safety Engineering practice, it is often assumed that fire always commences at the floor level. However, it is not always the case. For instance, many residential fires were initiated by the ignition of ovens and stove
Swedish building regulations regarding fire safety design consist of performance-based requirements of which many are ambiguous, one of those is smoke ventilation of basements. The report aimed to clarify the purpose of this requirement, in order to ease practical application of it. The objective was to give a suggestion on how to formulate the requirement and to evaluate both standard and alterna
Risk perception and risk tolerance are key elements of decision-making and flight safety. During flight operations, an accident may occur if a pilot underestimates risk level or overestimates their capacity (risk tolerance). Despite the numerous research studies conducted previously on risk perception and risk tolerance, there has been limited investigation into the "evolution" of these
Increasing climate change is causing a rise in natural disasters. One of the most common natural disasters in Sweden is flooding. Vulnerability is increasing due to urbanization and the removal of green spaces in Swedish cities. In the acute phase of a flooding, the municipal Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) are generally first to respond. In this thesis, the FRS’ management of flooding is reviewed
Vid konstruktion av bullerskärmar så väljs vanligtvis pålning som grundläggningstyp. Det finns flera modeller som kan approximera ett krav på minsta pållängd beroende på olika typer jordförhållande och vindlast. Om pålen ska placeras vid en slänt blir dock beräkningarna betydligt mer osäkra då inverkan av en slänt på den horisontella stabiliteten är svår att uppskatta. Denna rapport har analyseratWhen designing noise screens, piling is usually the chosen foundation type. There are several approximating models that can be used to determine the required pile length; these depend on the soil conditions and wind loads. However, if the pile is placed near a slope, the calculations will be considerably more uncertain as the impact of a slope on the horizontal stability of the pile is difficult t

Allvarlig brottslighet som begås inom kriminella nätverk har ökat drastiskt under senare år. Skjutningar och sprängningar har blivit alltmer förekommande och nu diskuteras även finansierandet av skjutvåldet genom narkotika-, smugglings- och ekonomisk brottslighet i politiska debatter. Hur man ska komma till rätta med problemet, med hänsyn till förbättrade tekniska förutsättningar och tystnadskultuSerious crimes committed within criminal networks have increased drastically in recent years. Shootings and explosions are unusually often occurring in Sweden and now the financing of this deadly violence by drug, smuggling and financial crimes is also discussed in political debates. How to effectively deal with the problem, despite improved technology and a culture of silence in criminal gangs, i
